We need to steward well the resources God has given us!

Part of this involves the necessary legal and financial oversight. We function as a registered business ('not for profit' status). It is necessary that we have a constitution (our 'by-laws' as above) which uniquely identify how we operate and the accountability we have to one another. You're most welcome to ask questions about this. 
​
  • Elders (The 'pulse-keepers') Set vision and mission, the spiritual and pastoral direction for the church.They hold legal responsibility for our way of life.  
  • Senior Minister: Sets the ministry direction and works with the Eldership and Financial Management team to bring pastoral objectives, leadership objectives and spiritual oversight together with Ministry objectives. 
  • Financial Management Team (FMT) set the trajectory of strategic asset and finance planning.
  • Ministry Leadership team Develop ministry goals, lead Ministry teams and raise ministry issues that need addressing at Eldership or FMT level. In Essence, this team facilitate volunteer teams to put 'legs' on the vision and mission.
